Local Government Antitrust Act of 1984

Summary

Local Government Antitrust Act of 1984 - Limits the amount a person may recover on a claim under the antitrust laws which is based on official conduct of a local government and which is filed before July 1, 1984, to the amount of actual damages sustained, interest thereon, and the cost of suit, including a reasonable attorney's fee. Requires interest on damages to be awarded for the period: (1) beginning on the date the claim is filed and ending on the date of judgment, unless the court finds that the award of all or part of such interest is unjust; and (2) beginning on the date of injury and ending immediately before the date the claim is filed if the court finds that the award of all or part of such interest is just. Prohibits the United States or any person from recovering any monetary relief for any claim under the antitrust laws which is based on official conduct of a local government and which is filed on or after July 1, 1984.
